The appendix is an unusual site for extramedulary relapse in acute leukemia. The present case report describes two cases of late course acute lymphoblastic leukemia presented with leukemic infiltration of the appendix and complete remission of bone marrow. The signs and symptoms of the cases suggest that leukemic involvement of the appendix should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ...

Leukemic cells were obtained from the bone marrow or peripheral blood of patients with acute myelocytic leukemia or one of its variants. The tritiated thymidine labeling index of the leukemic cells and the suicide index of the cells that produce clusters in vitro were compared. The suicide index was 5 times greater than the labeling index (S.E.) [54 +/- 8% versus 12 +/- 3%], demonstrating the p...

background: the present study has investigated the effectiveness of group logo therapy to increase the hope among the leukemic patients. methods: this research has composed of 80 leukemic patients who have referred to golestan hospital in 2012 fall, and then have responded to the snyder’s hope scale, the research design has included pre - post - and follow up tests with a control group. first, ...

Cells from the spleen, thymus, lymph node, and liver of leukemic AKR mice suppress in vitro antibody responses of normal syngeneic and semiallogeneic cells. This suppression can be mediated by irradiated leukemic cells, requires cell contact between leukemic and normal cells, and may occur at any time during the in vitro culture period. Leukemic AKR cells do not suppress antibody responses of a...

background: oral manifestations are frequently the initial signs of acute leukemia, prompting the patient to consult the dentist first. the gingival tissue is one site commonly involved either by leukemic infiltration or by inflammatory reactive hyperplasia, causing gingival enlargement. the gingival infiltration may also be present without gingival enlargement. early recognition of clinical fi...
